Abstract

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale Weber ex F.H. Wigg) is a medicinal plant species, reported to have some active compounds useful as anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, and diuretics. Study on in vitro secondary metabolic production and tissue culture of these plants has been reported. This research was aimed to investigate plant regeneration from leaf blade, petiole and root as explants grown in selected media. Three different type of explants were cultured in MS solid medium supplemented with BAP (0, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/l) combined with NAA (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mg/l) to select the best medium for spontaneous regeneration. Explants were grown for 6 weeks, the viability of explants, and formation of callus, shoots as well as roots were recorded. The results showed BAP at 1 mg/l combined with at 0.5 mg/l of NAA was suitable for shoot formation, whereas NAA alone was suitable for root formation from leaf blade and petiole. Root was the best explant for shoot regeneration, callus was grown at the first two weeks, and multiple shoots were grown after 3 weeks. No roots were found from root explant. The best medium for multiple shoot regeneration was MS containing 1 mg/l BAP without or with addition of 0.5 mg/l NAA.Keywords: Taraxacum officinale Weber ex F.H.

Abstract

The aim of this research was to compare the reduction effect of sucrose or table sugar concentration on growth characteristics of red ginger cultured in MS liquid medium. Shoots of red ginger was cultured on MS liquid medium without addition of plant growth regulators, supplemented with 5, 10, and 20 g/l of sucrose or table sugar for 8 weeks. Resulted plantlets were acclimatized in a greenhouse to investigate their growth and survival rate. Numbers of stomata, chlorophyll concentration as well as cross section of leaves from plantlets grown in vitro were compared to those of transplants grown in the greenhouse. The results showed that the use of table sugar at concentration of 20 g/l gave the best growth of red ginger. Meanwhile, the reduction of table sugar from 20 to 10 g/l reduced growth and survival rate of in vitro shoots as well as that of transplants in the greenhouse. Only few shoots formed roots when they were grown on the medium containing 5 g/l of table sugar, and transplants failed to grow in the greenhouse. It found that the chlorophyll content of in vitro plantlets was lower than those of transplants grown in the glasshouse. However, the number of stomata of the in vitro plantlets was higher than that of transplants grown in the glasshouse. There was no anatomical abnormalities found on the cross section of leaves between in vitro plantlets and transplants grown in the greenhouse. The replacement of sucrose with table sugar may reduce the production cost of plantlets.Keywords: red ginger (Zingiber officinale Rocs.), reduction of sugar, survival rate, chlorophyll, stomata.
